The gunman accused of shooting a bystander Friday told deputies he offered the victim a cup of water and $400, but did not call 911 or try and stop the bleeding.

Jakell Ward, 21, was later arrested and now faces two counts of attempted murder.

The man Ward allegedly shot, Brian Mortensen, was installing a fence in Ward's complex, Magnolia Court Condominiums, Orange County deputies wrote in a report.

Mortensen's lung collapsed, and a bullet ended up lodged near his heart, records show. He was taken to Florida Hospital in what deputies called "grave condition" on Friday.

The incident unfolded when Ward and his pregnant girlfriend may have been arguing about Ward's marijuana use, deputies said.

His girlfriend told deputies she could tell Ward was getting angry, and knew he had a .45 Hi-Point pistol in their apartment.

So when Ward allegedly threatened to kill her, she left the apartment and went to her car in the parking lot, deputies said.

Ward allegedly followed her out of the apartment with his pistol, deputies said.

His girlfriend said she got into her car and saw Ward fire the pistol toward her "multiple times," deputies said.

One of the bullets went through the car and hit Mortensen's chest, deputies said.

Ward's girlfriend drove away as other witnesses called 911. She came back after deputies arrived to tell them what happened. She was not injured.

Deputies found Ward in the complex. He denied threatening to kill his girlfriend, but corroborated the rest of her story, deputies said.

Ward told deputies he tried to offer Mortensen $400 as "compensation for the injuries," deputies said. Then he went back to his apartment to hide his pistol, deputies said.

Ward is being held on no bond in the Orange County Jail.

Ward was arrested on a domestic battery charge in November 2015. Less than a month after the arrest the state attorney's office declined to prosecute him, saying the case was not "suitable for prosecution."
